The Fellowship in vitreoretinal diseases and surgery is designed to provide
an opportunity for appropriate clinical training and for clinical or vision
science research related to retinal disease, over a two-year period. Special
training includes the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of retinal, choroidal,
vitreous and related ocular diseases.
Research: Fellows are expected to undertake
at least one research project that can be accomplished during the fellowship
period. This project, which may be a clinical study or an applied research
project in the laboratory, is performed in cooperation with the faculty
advisor. Vision scientists, including biochemists, physiologists, pathologists,
anatomists and clinical ophthalmologists, are amenable to collaborating
on worthwhile projects.
